You can also to flash just the misc partition, but this is kinda hard if your not an experienced user.

Please search for it in the forum.

If you prefer something easier, just flash an official firmware:

1. Download an official firmware version to a PC
   
2. Press and hold the power off key for over 8 seconds to make absolutely sure you have the deice switched off
   
3. Plug in the USB cable (device and PC) and the power adapter
   
4. Press and hold the 'back' button
   
5. After 1 second: press and hold the 'power' button too (don't release the 'back' button)
   
6. After another second: release the 'power' button (don't release the 'back' button)
   
7. After another second: release the 'back' button
   
8. Start the official firmware upgrade on the PC
